I'm burned out.
I took a new job.
First month in, I took 3 days off, simply because of disorganization, stress and my body acted out on it.
I can't work in an open office space. Especially when the devs can work remote whenever.
I also think cultural fit is a big problem. I don't enjoy working for non-tech companies.
My work is simply not interesting, but if I could do it from remote, that's fine. I hate having to signal I'm busy by headphones. I dislike my cubicle location right by the break room and listening in on sales and seeing high school equivalent flirting and then the gossip. It's distracting/doesn't involve me what chad in Sales is trying to hit up the interns. Don't blame him, but I don't want to see it.
That's my experience.
Also, being extraverted in IT while everyone is an Introvert is a drain on itself. Sure, I enjoy tabletop gaming, and I used to play video games. I remember a job I took right outside college, I didn't pass 30 days probation because I refused to play on steam (didn't even know what steam was) with my co-workers after work.
I responded amicably that I was busy after work on the aim chatroom: "I'm here with you 8 hours a day, I don't want to spend another 4 with you guys after a commute home."
"Not a team player."
Total BS. Did not list that job on my resume and it was a complete waste of time.
